when were you sneek off to oran park mate, pit crew?

Yeh mate, helping my mate with his Saloon Car, will be on Speedweek on the 12th Nov i think. if you watch it he's #80 in a falcon! Left Thursday morning at 4am towing the car, and got back 8am Monday, you could say a quick trip! :happy:

I could have got some silver tint but it would have cost alot more than i paid ;)

Some of the guys at wynns can do some great tint jobs. i'll try and get some pictures of our tinters car when he gets it back. he has silver tint with flames cut out and red tint for the flames

just thought id mention im an idiot

left my lights on 2day 4 some reason

went 2 jump start my car

and somehow put leads on wrong way and by the time i realised the leads were melting, i heard weird noises n smoke everywhere lol

then it took about an hour afta i started the car for everything to seem to go bk 2 normal. my alarm was making wierd noises but then started working again after a while

any1 know if i would have done anything bad to the car? would have been connected for about 15 secs.

that doesnt sound good at all mate. but to put your mine at ease, an alarm making funny noise is a concern. although mine played up a while back in winter just before i fried my starter motor but its fine now.

been driving all day 2day, seems ok.

although i think ive detuned it, it really laggy and loose power over 4.5k

time 4 a tuneeeee

also need to get front pads, any1 know the type they r, cos every time i go mechanic he had to take them off, trace them and fax 2 his supplier 2 get the right ones in, so i wana know wat type so i can go get the myself

lol your lucky.. I bought a new battery, bloke asked me what side i want the positive I said top right. Got home, it was going dark, couldn't see too well hooked battery up. Upon touching the last terminal i saw a big spark and a big crack noise from the fuse box.

Blown powerfc, blew multiple cheap fuses under the dash and an expensive $35 75amp fuse in the fuse box.

It was a cheap batter so it had the + and - pressed in to the top plastic, so not easy to see at night. :P

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
